Highlights & Route Details

The Lake: Nestled beneath the towering cliffs of Mount Wilbur and Iceberg Peak, the water stays bitterly cold year-round because the cirque receives very little direct sunlight.
-
Ptarmigan Falls: The trail passes this scenic waterfall about 2.5 miles into the hike.
-
Wildflowers & Scenery: Late July through August features vibrant alpine meadows filled with wildflowers and huckleberries.
-
Facilities: Pit toilets are located roughly halfway along the route and near the lake.
Important Safety & Planning Tips
-
Bear Country: This area is prime grizzly and black bear habitat. Always carry bear spray, hike in groups, and make noise on the trail.
-
Vehicle Reservations: The Many Glacier entrance requires a vehicle reservation during peak summer operation dates.
